FAQ

In Maryland, employees work "at the will" of their employers. This means, in the absence of an express contract, agreement or policy to the contrary, an employee may be hired or fired for almost any reason -- whether fair or not -- or for no reason at all; based on non-discrimination.

Over the past few years, about half of the states have written and enacted "right-to-work" laws. These statutes prohibit employers and unions from requiring union membership in order for employees to get and keep a job. To date, Maryland has no such laws on the books.

To summarize, Illinois is not a right-to-work state. The state's legislative landscape reflects a commitment to collective bargaining, union rights, and labor relations characterized by negotiated agreements between employers and unions.

As of 2024, there are 26 states with right-to-work laws. In these states, employees have the legal right to choose whether they want to join a union without any employment consequences if they decide not to.

At-will employment solely focuses on either the termination of an employee or when an employee leaves. Right-to-work statutes make employers offer the choice of joining a union or not, but limit their ability to terminate employees if they choose to represent themselves.

Protecting Employers Since 1985. Yes, Illinois is Still an Employment-At-Will State! Yes, Illinois really is an employment-at-will state. To that point, Illinois courts follow the employment-at-will legal doctrine in deciding “discharge cases.”

This means that employees cannot be scheduled for more than six (6) days in a row and employers are required to provide one 24-hour rest period within seven consecutive days. This rule applies to all full-time workers in Illinois, with just a few exceptions which we will discuss later in this article.

While Maryland has no explicit right-to-work law on the books, Section 4-304 of the state's Labor and Employment Code prohibits any promise. As of April 2019, Illinois is not a righttowork state.
